CadMouse scroll encoder replacement

Post by izen »

Hello.

As some users of this forum may have noticed there is one common issue with the cadmouse product line scroll wheel, it goes crazy over time. The reason behind that is the scroll wheel encoders open construction. It accumulates dirt and stops registering the wheel rotation properly. Cleaning/soaking in alcohol solves this problem only temporarily. The only real solution to this is to replace that horrible TTC encoder with a sealed/closed one. In my case that was Kailh red 5mm. 6 month after and there was none, zero issues.
